I've been experimenting with a new schedule, where days of the week are assigned to topics (mostly for stuff to do in the evening after work and after the kid is in bed):

• Monday is for drawing and art
• Tuesday is for studying psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, motivation, learning...
• Wednesday is for writing
• Thursday is for programming
• Friday is for relaxing
• Saturday is for studying statistics and machine learning
• Sunday is for strategy, reviewing the week, evaluating my current plans and coming up with new ones

So far I find it's an improvement, and is better at making sure I'm working on all of those (it also gives me a system in which I can dump "interesting things" without feeling the need to spend hours reading up on them right away ... when tuesday (psychology) comes around, I have a little list of the interesting-looking topics or links that I ran accross since last time, and choose which one to read, study, and enter in Anki).

Also, in my daily routine:

• Get up as soon as the alarm rings (solid habit now, I used to loaf in bed for some time several months ago)
• Exercise in the morning (I use some android apps by Rittr Labs to keep track of how much I should do, as recommended by hyporational; I cycle between squats, situps, pushups and superman)
• Study my Anki decks (usually in public transit or when waiting in line)
• Review HabitRPG (which I use to structure most of the rest)
• Write in a gratitude journal (I may drop / tone it down, I'm not sure it's very useful)

I have started doing pomodoros, but not very regularly yet.
